Burna Boy is proving once again why he’s the African Giant! The Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar has just bagged another major international milestone—this time in France, where his 2019 collaboration with French star Dadju, “Donne-Moi L’accord,” has officially been certified platinumby SNEP.
This certification marks a huge win for Afrobeats, as the song has now surpassed 50 million streams on Spotify, reinforcing Burna Boy’s position as a global music powerhouse.
Burna Boy’s Winning Streak Continues
This isn’t his only big moment of 2025. Burna Boy recently received an RIAA Gold certification for “Alone”, his hit track from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. The song, which was nominated for Best Global Music Performance at the 2023 Grammy Awards, has racked up a staggering 164 million streams on Spotify, making it the second most-streamed track from the album—right behind Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up.”
Breaking Records, Setting New Milestones
Burna Boy remains the first Nigerian artist to have three albums surpass 500 million streams on Spotify, further solidifying his global dominance in Afrobeats and beyond. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s now the first artist to grace the cover of Billboard France Magazine, where he spoke about the global explosion of Nigerian music and his role in its meteoric rise.
